We Face Forward

There's an African vibe in Manchester this summer. That's all down to We Face Forward, a season of contemporary art and music from West Africa, taking place across 3 galleries, 2 museums, 4 music venues, libraries, community spaces and on an art bus.

It features 33 artists and a host of musicians from 11 West African countries.

The Art Bus was created to travel all over Manchester providing free art and music performances and workshops for local communities inspired by the music and contemporary art of West Africa in the We Face Forward exhibition.
